To my friends in les Etoiles de Mer at The Gower School

I hope you are all well and learning great things with Miss Kelleher and Miss Ritchie. I saw that you were skipping like crazy to raise money for the heart foundation. I am sure you skipped very high !

I have arrived in Tokyo, capital of Japan, four days ago. I have visited several places like the Tower of Tokyo (looks a bit like the Eiffel Tower), and I went to Ueno Zoo where I saw pandas, bears, elephants, seals and a polar bear. I can also see the famous Shinkanzen from the window in our hotel room.

I also visited the Ueno Museum where I learnt about the Great Fire of Edo. I thought about what we learned in les Etoiles de Mer, about the Great fire of London, so I wrote a little recount to share with you. I also wrote a little text on the Samurai and another one on a temple I visited in Hong-Kong. It would be great if you could let me know what you think about my writing.

Hi Louis, sorry I did not reply sooner. It was really cool to read your comment. Yes, I am having fun. I really liked when I did some snorkelling for instance. It was worth spending that much time in planes, cars and trains. I did not try the squid on a stick, but children were having them for their after school snack… Yuck !
Are you still enjoying football games with Lucas, Isaac and Arion ? I hope you are having a nice Easter holiday. Take care, love, Alvar

Wow Alvar, it looks like you are doing lots of amazing learning! Lilia learned that 100,000 people died in the fire. Lexi loved all of your photographs. None of us knew that the Great Fire had happened and also that it was just 9 years before the Great Fire of London!

We are looking forward to reading more about your travels and sending you some more messages soon!
